In a few hours, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be addressing a joint session of Congress.

His visit comes as daily military strikes in Gaza, powered by U.S.-made weapons, are killing children and tearing families apart.

A human rights thread.⬇️
Here are the facts.

Netanyahu has evaded calls for a ceasefire and denied critical aid, even as Palestinian civilians are being starved and remain at risk of genocide.
Specifically, Amnesty International’s findings have uncovered an immense scale of violations, including:

❌Evidence of war crimes committed by Israeli forces, which have targeted civilians and wiped out entire Palestinian families using U.S.-made weapons.
❌Torture, ill-treatment, enforced disappearance, and mass detention of thousands of Palestinian civilians, including children.
❌Escalating attacks and limitations on humanitarian aid have combined to kill more than 38,000 people and internally displaced at least 75% of Gaza’s total population. amnestyusa.org/blog/no-weapon…

“This move by the ICC Prosecutor sends an important message to all parties to the conflict in Gaza and beyond that they will be held accountable for the devastation they have waged on the peoples of Gaza and Israel.

@dpaulobrien, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, made the following statement:

amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
“One day President Biden expresses concerns about the actions of Israeli forces in Rafah, the next day he plans to send them weapons. This is at best mixed messages, or worse, total complicity.
"He knows that Rafah will be an unmitigated—and unlawful— disaster of human suffering and death that he and the U.S. government is enabling with U.S. taxpayer dollars.

@dpaulobrien, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, said:

amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
“Amnesty International’s devastating research findings link US-made weapons to civilian killings. This demands urgent attention and action by President Biden and the U.S. Congress.
